My name is Tara, and it's time to get Crafty.
I
have been sucked into Pinterest. Overcome with pin after pin, producing
an overload of crafty projects to turn the mundane scraps from everyday
into something more.
Empty Egg Container? I've
seen something for that. Extra Pallets? There are boards full of
projects for those. Soda Cans? I've got a Windmill you should make!
I've been sucked in. It's taking over.
Now
understand, I'm not overly crafty. There, I said it. My moms idea of
crafty involves schemes to pay less for everyday items at the store,
never to make it herself. It's no fault of hers, she gives into instant
gratification more than most. But now that I'm an adult, my crafty
angels are shouting down the demons telling me simply to buy it and give
in. It's easier sure, but there is an extra level of gratification
knowing you made something yourself.
My
favorite hobby is Crochet, but that is only where I started. Now I am
rapidly expanding into project after project found on Pinterest. You
know the pins I'm talking about. The ones that seem so mind-bendingly
simple. The ones you can't believe you never thought of them yourself.
The ones you suddenly wonder how you ever lived without them.
So this blog is my exploration of the good, the bad, and the ugly of Pinterest.
My
goal is one craft a week. Even more, I am going to try out more than
just crafts. Cleaning hacks, Crock-Pot Recipes, and whatever else
tickles my fancy is going to be on display.
Let's get started!!
